As the 50th anniversary of Ghana’s independence from British Colonial ends, two new films, from WORLDwrite’s Pricking the Missionary Position, suggest freedom and autonomy must still be fought for. Keeping Africa Small challenges Western NGO practices in Africa. However well meaning they may be, their programmes get up the noses of everyone – from fishermen to shanty town inhabitants. Godbless, Wofa, De Roy and local fishermen and women loathe the peanuts offered and sanctimonious lessons in good behaviour. They are not ignorant; they are articulate and angry. They want jobs and material advancement. As Godbless tells us: "Africans have big brains, big aspirations... and want to live in liberty." I’m a subsistence farmer... get me out of here! explains that whilst Westerners celebrate nature and moan about malls and consumer lifestyles, many in the developing world yearn for the comforts of modernity. Subsistence life means mud-huts and mind-numbing toil. As this film reveals, Ghanaians want so much more. Shot in Ghana, these documentaries are sure to stir debate and Chew on it productions and WORLDwrite are delighted to invite you to their premieres.
